I’m going to try something truly novel this evening – a short Project 365 post. There are lots of other ladies on the Project 365 webring who manage to post a SINGLE picture and include just a line or two (at most a paragraph) for their daily blog.
Of course, I’m not being completely sincere (or honest) since I have a stack of pictures loaded for a different blog. [rubbing hands with glee and chortling] This one, however, is going to be short and sweet. The next one is going to be sweet as well but not so short.
All of the boys in the household (yes, those sweet innocent dears from the previous post who burn Peeps, send Noah flying to the sky, and brandish weapons whenever possible) need hair cuts. Normally I would line them up and do the whole crew in one evening. Stack ‘em, pack ‘em, and chop ‘em??? [That's a botched version of another Obscure Movie Quote "Stack em, pack 'em, and rack 'em". Anyone know that one??]
On to the (short) blog. Somehow all the relaxing and playing we did today took a lot of time and energy so I only managed to cut Daniel’s hair.
He’s smiling (barely) but I don’t think I’m going to get a nice tip after this cut.
Hopefully the rest of the boys will have their turn tomorrow night. We can’t have these handsome fellas looking shaggy. We had a nice President’s Day. Tim declared “Holiday Hours” and we watched movies, played computer games, blogged, paid bills (okay some things are more fun than others), went grocery shopping, decorated a birthday cake, and so on.

Day after day, and still I get no haircut. My envy of Daniel’s clean, crisp appearance nearly overwhelms me, as I live my days in shaggy, unkempt shame.
For some reason, Daniel often tends toward longer hair (maybe his grows faster?) and we have often called him ‘Flopsy’ or ‘Mopsy’, depending on whether it was a ‘good hair day’ or not. Lately he’s been angling for a shorter buzz-cut ‘like my friend Zachary’ — maybe in the Summer, Kathy can steel herself to ‘do the deed’.
Maybe if I play my cards right, I can get a haircut tonight. It is good for a man to have an unrealized ambition, to drive him on.
It does remind me of the song from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat – “Poor, poor Joseph (Tim), whatcha gonna do? Things look bad (shaggy) for you, eh whatcha gonna do?”
Maybe tonight – a haircut for Tim!
The movie was Diehard 2 when the hero ignites the fuel from the escaping enemy plane and it (supposely) creates a blaze that allows the planes to land in the dark. dad
Hooray, Dad! You got the quote. Did you remember or did you have to look it up? I thought it was from Top Gun so it took me a little while to track it down. Funny! Of course, most of our quotes come from either Fletch or Silverado. LOL!!
You are SO BRAVE! I don’t think I’ve attempted to cut any of my kids’ hair…
